The judging stops NOW!</p>
<p>Moving on. A friend of mine has invited me to a Mary Kay party. It has been roughly ten years since I have been to one, much less used their stuff. That doesn&#8217;t mean I don&#8217;t own some still, though mostly perfumey stuff. Usually I dread going to these parties because I have awful skin, and usually buy into the hope that <em>this time</em> I will find something that will make my skin look perfect and flawless. That is silly, of course, but I can still hope. Prayer doesn&#8217;t hurt, either.</p>

<p>Surprisingly, I am looking forward to it. I have come to the realization that I am a homebody. I don&#8217;t go out much, and when I do, I tend to come home early because of the kids. I do my chores around the house in total silence, forgetting about the radio or the CD player, and sometimes feel like I&#8217;m in a tomb, at least until Little One comes home and watches Disney Channel. I need to get out more, and make new friends, and if that entails going to a make-up party and buying something that guarantees to take years off your face, I will do it!</p>
<p>I just hope that stuff isn&#8217;t botox 😉</p>
